new p. cambridgei and rehousing! eek

[cobaltbrew]

I bought a juvi p. Cambridgei from an LPS today for 20 bucks. The seller said he guessed female but I'll wait for a molt before I get my hopes too high. It was housed in a 20 oz. Plastic drink cup, but there were no vent holes so I found tiny bits of mold immediately set about rehousing when I got home.

The poor thing was living in a little swamp.

But when I went to rehouse it, the thing teleported to my floor, either scratching my with a claw or tagging me I can't tell. Which leads me to believe scratch. Anyway, after a tussel I managed to get it in the emptied drink cup and turn the cup upside down on top of it's new home, which was a snug fit and the little heathen ran in like lightning. Needless to say, I have a large amount of respect for it's speed and grace.

Anyway, I'll post pics tomorrow after I let it calm down. Cute little bugger is probably in need of a stress ball.

I also rehoused my baby versicolor pics tomorrow. Maybe some feeding too.

I need to sit down.

I couldn't wait. ;P. Here's a few pics.

First my new fuzzy one! I'm thinking of calling it heathen. Har.
This is the new enclosure. It used to be a Dole peaches container. ^_^

Here's some over the top views. I used a couple inches of moist eco earth, chopsticks hot glued in place to anchor web and a cute little clay pot from michaels hot glued as a little tree house. I put like 50 vent holes in the whole thing with a thumbtack.

Then I moved my avicularia versicolor into a new home. This new container will be it's home for a while. It's pretty tall, but I'll make sure it gets its food.

Cute lil guys.

Congrats, I ADORE this species. I have a particularly nasty female(probably female...) and she's probably my favorite T in my collection. So good luck and have fun with that one!

Congrats on the new addition! She sure is cute

That text made me laugh, by the way... "I'm pretty sure that cambridgei just tagged me." LOL

Hey what can I say it ran onto my hand and I felt a stinging sensation for like an hour. Lol.



Take that Jairi.

Two can play at that game, sir!

You're allergic to venom... but maybe, you're just completely allergic to Ts themselves

I'd cry, if I was you.

lol

Very nice!! I just finished upsizing my P. irminia's enclosure to make room for my P. cambridgei that's coming tomorrow. It went surprisingly smoothly, just 2 taps of the paintbrush and she darted right into the new enclosure and stopped right in the middle long enough for me to get the lid on. I was expecting so much worse!! I will post pictures tomorrow of the new enclosure. It's ridiculously girly and I love it!!! I am amped to get the P. cambridgei tomorrow!!

I those zippy arboreals!!!
